Chromaticity variable type road projection lamp system for vehicle and method of controlling road projection

A chromaticity variable type road projection lamp system applied to a vehicle is composed of a chromaticity variable lamp that radiates a road surface radiation content, which is generated by reflecting the lights emitted from a first projection light-emitting diode (LED) of a warm white color and a second projection LED of a cool white color disposed in the direction symmetrical to a DMD at the tilting angle, with a projection beam from a chromaticity variable road projection, and radiates the low beam by comparing the warm white color of the first lamp LED and the cool white color of the second lamp LED with the road surface radiation content in chromaticity.

Systems and methods for illumination control and distribution during a vehicle bank

A bank angle of a vehicle can be accurately calculated using yaw axis data and roll axis data, and based on the calculated bank angle, vehicle illumination optics can be controlled to maintain a pattern of distributed light from the illumination optics to be generally horizontal. The calculated bank angle may be zeroed when the yaw axis data equals zero. The improved pattern of distributed light from the illumination optics illuminates a more natural field of view for the vehicle driver during a bank.

11982418 · 2024-05-14 · ·

A lighting module includes a first light source that generates a low beam with a bright/dark cut-off line and a second light source. First optics redirects a first part of light from the first light source to create a main part of the low beam substantially below the bright/dark cut-off line. Second optics is spaced apart from the first optics and redirects a second part of light from the first light source to create a zone III beam of the low beam substantially above the bright/dark cut-off line and redirects a fourth part of light from the second light source to create a concentrated beam of the high beam in front of the vehicle. Third optics redirects a third part of light from the second light source to create a main part of a high beam.
